5. Technology Architecture - Describes the software and hardware needed to support the applications and data.

6. Opportunities and Solutions - Identifies potential solutions and organizes the work into manageable projects for implementation.

7. Migration Planning - Develops a detailed plan to transition from the current architecture to the target architecture.

8. Implementation Governance - Ensures that the implementation aligns with the architecture and is pursued according to defined guidelines.
